How Septic Tank Backup Cleanup Works in Katy

2. Map contamination and moisture

   A meter helps locate damp building layers after the visible sewage is gone.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Contaminated carpet padding or insulation often comes out before the structure is dried.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Dehumidifiers and air movers address the remaining wet structure after sanitizing.
